I love his honesty, and he seems a guy i can believe in.
I just think hes being dealt a crap hand by the owner of the Club, more so considering his background. Acid test will be at Fulham, which is proberly the biggest game he will have at Villa. Win it, and i think he will win over a lot of waverers, and people will be behind him against Blackburn.
Loose it, and the pressure is on against Blackburn.
But picking on the manager for the decisions of the board has always been the way at Villa, and i dare say that tradition will carry itself on.
